Who wants to call Cotto a quitter now?

[Aracibo04]

Cotto is done as an elite.

I agree. It is up to cotto to prove everyone wrong.

Who are you kidding? Cotto may have stayed on his feet but he bailed out of that fight mentally in the 6th round.

He shouldve just gone down and saved himself the beating.

Haters will be haters, you have these idiots coming here criticizing Cotto for finishing the fight, this idiot said he should have gone down. LOL. I guess when you was in school the bullies must have taken your lunch money every day, b/c you probably went down to save yourself from a beating. they would have loved for Cotto to quit the fight so they could have something to criticize. Pac fans came on the forum and gave props to Cotto for going all the way and being a true champion. These are not boxing fans, these are nuthuggers of someone that Cotto probably beat, like SSM, or nuthuggers of a cheater like Marg that his biggest victory, against Cotto, is now tainted for being a cheater, and they are still butt hurt and can not get over it. Go cry some where else and get over it.

He fought until the bitter end, even when his corner asked him if he wanted to continue. When Nacho asked Oscar, he quit. Props to Manny. He's an all time great fighter, and there's no shame in losing to him. Cotto came out in good shape and prepared. Manny was just too much. I know Miguel will be back. Much respect to both. WAR COTTO!!!!

No he didn't, lmao. What fight were you watching ?

All Cotto did for the last 4 rounds was run. That running was worse than De La Joto against Tito, lmao. And that's what you call fighting to the bitter end, hehe.

Running is another word for quitting!

I bet'd you'd run worse. And piss your pants in the process.
I'd bet 10 grand on it.

At least Cotto fought the best.

Big deal he lost. A ton of guys do, but they had the balls to try.

I have respect for Cotto and I think he's a good fighter, but by no means would I call what he did against Pacquiao "fighting til the bitter end". No, he didn't take a knee and quit, or call it quits in the corner, but he had no intention of even trying to win that fight through the last third of the fight. Few if any flurries to try to even catch Manny with a "lucky" power shot that could possibly score a knockdown, and basically going from corner to corner, throwing a jab or two and moving away again. Even in the rare instances where he DID connect with a significant power punch that stunned Manny, he still moved away rather than attempting to capitalize it. He was still pretty light on his feet and was moving swiftly, so it's not like he was gassed and incapable of mounting any sort of attack.

I'm not criticizing him because I know the situation was dire and being in the ring against Pacman is not exactly easy... But I do think he could/should have attempted to do more to pull an unlikely victory from the jaws of defeat, and had he made that attempt (regardless of its success) I would give him props for his "great courage and heart" that some people are talking about.

One thing is for sure, Cotto was pissing in his panties from the 3rd round on. When PAC was gesturing to the ref to f**kin' step in, wtf does that tell you?

And no, I don't think it's possible to run any harder than Cotto did last Saturday,lol. He should've just pulled a Forrest Griffin after getting ko'd by Silva, he literally ran out the f**kin' stadium, lol

I'd bet 20 grand you'd get ko'ed in 1.

Look, Pac won, and did great as I thought he would, but Cotto was trying to survive after getting whacked.

It's extremely difficult to summon up the courage to throw caution to the wind when you're getting hit by **** whatever you do.

You try to set again, get away for a minute, and figure it out.
You may never know how much it sucks to try to fight when you can't see what's hitting you.

You try to use the ring, and use plan b, or plan c or d just to get back in the fight.

Sometimes it works, others it doesn't.

My point is Cotto fought Margs, Clottey, Mosley, and Pac, and didn't crumble in 1.

Sure he got hit and sure he danced away, but honestly he did the best he could.

[Dan...]

me. lol @ the cotto stans

LOL, you are a complete ***tard.

[Dan...]

Cotto is done as an elite.

God I am starting to hate this mentality.

So there can only be one "elite" fighter in the entire world now?

Just because he lost to one of the greatest fighters of the past 30 years doesn't make him "not elite".

[shade darkar]

LOL, you are a complete ***tard.

thanks. still upset that cotto got owned?
